GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR FRYER
Oil
•Always ensure that you use good quality oil for deep frying. We recommend liquid vegetable oils, alternatively use corn, groundnut or rapeseed oil. Avoid mixing oils of different types and quality.
•Solid fat (lard) and solid oil can be used, this should be first melted in a pan until softened, then carefully transferred into the fryer tank.
•Change the oil when it becomes brown or cloudy in colour, usually after frying 15 times.
IMPORTANT: Do not switch the fryer on until the fryer tank is filled with oil or solid oil or lard.

Chips
•Old potatoes are ideal for making chips. Your chips should be evenly sized so that they cook evenly. They should be rinsed in a colander under a cold tap and dried using a kitchen towel or absorbent paper. For best results fry your chips for
•For best results, we recommend no more than 900g of frozen chips or 1.2kg of fresh chips are fried per batch.
